About me

Intro

As the Regulatory Affairs Manager at TIMAC AGRO International, my role centered around ensuring global compliance for regulatory strategies, a mission that harmonized with my passion for innovation in regulatory processes. Our team successfully integrated Regulatory Information Management (RIM) systems, enhancing international market strategies and operational excellence. Previously, as a Regulatory Affairs Strategist at BD Rowa, I spearheaded regulatory initiatives across the APAC and MENA regions, fostering collaboration across multidisciplinary teams to navigate the complex regulatory landscape. My expertise in quality management and regulatory strategies, submissions and softwares (RIM and DMS) has been pivotal in driving projects to fruition while maintaining stringent compliance with international standards.
